My caller ID showed it was from the U S Government.
I tried calling that number several times only to get a recorded message which said your call did not go through.
Please try again.

It is legit. I am doing a retirement claim and this number called me. I called the main social security and they said yes, someone from social security called me today, so it's a big load off my mind, lol. This is a legit number

They called 5 times today before I decided to finally answer.

I was told it was from the social security office out of New York and was asked to verify my home address.

The CID was displayed as U S GOVERNMENT with the phone # of 718-557-3000.

The guy was way to happy go lucky and told me that this was not a telemarketer, like I was going to believe that.

He asked me if I was sitting down, and that’s when I really became suspicious.

Keep in mind that I have been waiting for a while for my back pay from SSDI so I felt that I should listen to what he had to say.

Then he started to tell me way more information then any telemarketer/scammer should or would know.
Information like how much my back pay would be, who represented me, what my monthly check would be and how much I would be paying for Medicare.

If this is a SCAM, then there is a major problem with the system.
Going to call Social Security and the company who represented me tomorrow and will post the results.
I am praying that this is legit.

Very happy to say that this is not a scam.

This call was from the Social Security Payment Center in New York.
Now I am just waiting for the long waited for check.
Hope this info has been of help to all.

Don't miss out on your approval status? The SSA doesn't notify you by telephone.
